Grunge is not even a legit subgenre. It was a 90's media invented fad, it has been discussed minutely on the 'Grunge' thread recently.

I used to wonder what Dave Suzuki was up to these days. With a little help from MA, I found out about Churchburn - a project between him and Ray (Grief). Well, it's somewhat sludgey-doom with some black metal influenced vocals. I've listened to their bandcamp but somehow it's not pushing me enough to buy the digital album. Check it out here.

Bobby: Most anything from Twinings should set you up nicely. Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Lady Grey, Lapsang Souchong, Prince of Wales...you can't go wrong! Though if you're deep in the sticks of Hicksville (or...Korea, alternatively), you may have to make do with something like PG Tips (The Lifeblood of England), which actually isn't half bad. I'd say as long as you've got some milk and honey on hand, most black teas will stand you in good stead. And though it probably has little bearing on your needs, I can wholeheartedly back the enthusiasm here for Moroccan mint tea. That shit is off the charts good.

Regarding Radiohead and The Beatles, neither of them have ever done much for me. No particular hatred here nor there... they're fine for what they are, but they just don't really speak to me, and aren't anything I'd ever consciously throw on except out of idle curiosity or desperation. The other day at work, though, I did have my first visceral twinge of distate for Paul McCartney off some radio from the next room. I'd have to firmly say that Paul McCartney is the factor I enjoy the least when it comes to The Beatles. He's got a fairly cloying musical touch.

Never was a big Radiohead fan, particularly as they went deep into prog territory. Part of that I think was reactionary for me; You had a lot of indie rock types circa late 1990s looking for something a little more grandiose but who didn't want to dig very far into music. Radiohead basically became the de facto "smart rock band" in spite of doing a lot of thing pretty poorly IMO. Kid A is, IMO, unlistenable trash. Probably the most overrated album of any genre in the last 20 years. They had a certain pop sensibility early on that basically wasn't present in a lot of the space rock type bands of the 90s, which is basically why we talk about them and not, say, Bardo Pond. But by Kid A that was dead and gone.

The Beatles, meanwhile, are pretty much deserving of what's been said about them. Anyone who sits there and says "I hate The Beatles" is probably someone who is "trying too hard," as I'd put it. What they're trying at likely varies, but it isn't an opinion I can take seriously.

Listening to OK Computer. Bit more mellow than I'm used to in the mornings, but definitely good. I'll have to take a walk or something listening to this. "Karma Police"...man, what a fucking good song. And "Paranoid Android," holy shit.

I hated radiohead at first, but they're definitely a band that grew on me, even if I only listen to that album, and some songs from the first 2 albums. The other day I had no surprises on repeat while I was in the shower. Really good song. Want to listen to it now actually, will give the album a listen when I get back from the library. I'm at uni on cup final day, just a bit annoying.

Well I will have to check the stores, but hopefully Wichita is large enough that I can find most of the types of tea you all have recommended. Though if I ever venture back to Korea I would probably just have to live off of what I can pick up at the base commissary. Thanks again everybody.

So I'm partially in charge of setting up a massive frat party on St. Patty's day which I'll probably also be DJing for. It should be fun, we're charging $10 at the door for all you can drink beer and green jesus. The only downside is I have Irish heritage and I won't be able to get drunk until 1 30.

So there's this huge fire an hour or so away from me and due to the geography of my location everything has been funneled into the valley. It smells like ass... And by tomorrow all the smoke will be blown into town and trapped until it settles.

Fun.

Yup, they ripped off Metal Church. Now that you've solved that mystery, Metallica is now dethroned from their place in metal history and will be safely forgotten forever. Good job!

Anywho, I lost my guitar pick And I had only one remaining. Ugh. Prior to that, I was attempting to play 'Eternal Nightmare' by Vio-lence. I love songs which don't need change in tuning. Everything in standard E! Needless to say, you can tell I'm still very much an amateur. Boy, that song is fast as fuck...I can feel my right wrist ache a bit now.

Went to a flea market in Duncansville today with a guy who will sell copies (burned CDs) of albums. Must I have to go to the big cites in order to find good selection at flea markets? My best experience was one up around the Harrisburg area.

I remember many years ago there was a wildfire in Canada that was so bad it wafted all the way south to Pennsylvania. The smell of burning was in the air, and I just thought to myself, "That might be the smell of maple trees burning and caribou dying, eh?"

Does anyone know what the hell is going on with Deathevokation? They've released their debut in 2007, which was a goddamn masterpiece, but haven't done much else since, save for a few very short splits.

Damn man, that sucks. There's been a lot of fires where I live, down in Tasmania, Aus. Not exactly the most pleasant way to get into the year, for sure.

EDIT 2: Someone else has pointed out that Noktorn stated that his middle name started with a D, whereas this guy's is apparently an R. So this might just be a freak coincidence and this might not actually be him. Read the following with a hefty helping of skepticism. Yeah cosmic coincidence, it seems. Disregard.

Yeah man. I don't think that's him. Huh. I literally just un-friended him on facebook today just because he hadn't talked in forever, so I dunno, maybe it is. I don't remember what he looked like, save the long-ass hair.

That other Noah was incarcerated in 2009, and Noktorn has tons of posts from that time frame. Pretty sure it's not him, guys. You've been pranked. Unless Florida prisons offer daily Internet access, and no curfews and allows inmates to post at 1 or 2 AM...
